Fireworks

Now that things have settle down a bit with wheat harvest and haying being done and Kitty on the mend, I finally waded through some images last night. I found this one that I took during the fireworks 4th of July celebration at Cottonwood Falls a few weeks ago.

Fireworks

Harland and I made a special trip to photograph the fireworks there the weekend after the 4th. Wanting to get the iconic courthouse and fireworks in the same image, I set up my camera on a tripod across the street in front of the library and waited until dark. At the time I was taking this image, I didn’t notice the flag snapping in the breeze atop the courthouse, so it’s a bonus for the shot.

Kitty UPDATE: 

She’s getting better day by day. She’s sleeping more than usual, and she’s not quite her bouncy playful self yet, but she’s eating and drinking well. On her last visit, the vet said it would take her a while to get well. She has some yucky sinus drainage so I wipe her little nose throughout the day. Friday night she begged for her nightly treat of milk which she hasn’t done since she got sick. She’s back to begging for table handouts too. Last night she woke us up repeatedly by jumping on the bed and walking around our heads purring. She even stuck her wet nose in Harland’s face. It must have been about 4am.  Yay! But we don’t mind, we’re just glad she’s feeling better. Thanks for your good wishes for her recovery!

Cattle, corn, wheat, beans, mud, snow, ice, and drought. Plenty of fresh air and quiet. Our life is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous, but never boring.

    So glad Kitty is getting back to her more normal behavior, even if she is waking you up too early!

    Well, yay Kitty, the good news reaches here and we breathe a sigh of relief, CatCat and I. Wet nose at zero-four-hundred, not usually a welcome diversion but in this case we’ll count our blessings as they purr.

    Ahhhhhh. So sweet, the girl is getting back to normal. At least you didn’t wake up at 4 a.m. with “knee-knee’s” (kneading) with claws extended through the sheet and cotton blanket on your bare legs…..

    Love your picture of the fireworks. I realized I hadn’t checked your website for a few days and I was worried about Kitty. So glad she is doing better.

    Ah, the fireworks pic is wonderful! Way to go! But then, we always expect wonderful pictures from you, Suzanne! I’m SO glad Miss Kitty is doing so much better! What a relief. We always want our furbabies to do well, don’t we?
